To all the fans,I STILL do not own any Fowl characters. Sadly still.
Artemis was sitting at the kitchen table that morning trying to think. It wasnt always so hard to think. Nothing had ever come up that was so puzzling and so akward that he couldnt even ask Butler. He sure wasnt gonna ask Juliet. All he wanted to know was if Holly liked him. It seemed like it but he couldnt read her mind.
She acted so nervous yesterday which only made him more nervous. He hadnt seen her in person for 3 years. No big break downs or news of Haven being destroyed. It really did suck not needing to be the genuis to save the day. But he was normal now. He had friends and enemies in his school.
All of a sudden a loud bang came from the doorframe. "Owie," Holly said rubbing her arm.
"Well if you tried not running into walls it wouldnt hurt," Artemis smarted raising an eyebrow.
She glared at him and replied, "Funny how you say that slave I was thinking the same thing."
He frowned and asked, "Whats with the name, I have a name you know."
"Yes I do know that but you are my slave, why not show it," She said walking over to a random cabnet looking for a cup.
Artemis stood up and walked over behind her, "I believe your looking for this," He reached over her head and handed hera cup.
She glanced over her shoulder awkwardly and replied, "Thanks."
"Your welcome your Highness," he said walking back to the table.
Holly took a deep breath and turned around. She went to the rifrigerator for some orange juice. She poured some in her cup and sat down next down next to him.
"Not that its important but, what are you planning," Artemis whispered as Juliet walked in the room.
Holly finished drinking her orange juice and replied, "You'll see."
Then she got up and left. She walked back up to her room to get ready for the day. When she was done taking a shower she went to unpack. She had been to lazy to do it last night. After she did that she laid down on her bed.
'Juliet is so luckey,' Holly thought to herself, 'It always seems like guys are always after her. Every time I have gotten a boyfriend he ditches me.'
"I hate men," Holly whined out loud.
"Well thats not nice," She heard Butler say from the doorway.
"Oh," Holly said sitting upright, "Hi, how are you?"
"Good," he replied walking toward her, "But how are you?"
"Just thinking like always," Holly said starting to smile, Butlers a good person to talk to, "How has it been lately around Fowl Manor? Has Artemis got any scemes that may throw Haven into dispare."
"No, he has settled down and made friends instead," Butler said sitting down on a chair, "You should know most of all that he's changed."
"He may have changed but he's still annoying and good with words," Holly said and then regretting it she added, "I was just hoping you know. Everything is so weird with nothing to be on your toes about. You should make him change back."
"I thought you liked him better this way Ms. Short," Butler asked.
Holly looked up fast wondering if he thought that, "He's the best friend on and under the entire world, but cant he be bad just once in a while."
"What gave any of you the idea that I wasnt right now," Artemis said watching Holly jump about a foot off the bed landing with a loud bang on the floor.She got up and walked over to him punching him in the arm. "What was that for?"
"If you didnt notice me falling on the floor theres no explaining the pain," Holly said crossing her arms.
Artemis laughed it was so easy to make her mad, "Yeah, but it was worth it to see the look on your face."
Butler got up and walked over to Artemis, "I think I'll wait till the fightings over. It was nice talking to you Holly."
"Aww. Now you scared Butler," Artemis said smirking at her.
She hit him in the arm again getting frustrated, "Stop being so mean. Gosh your annoying."
"From wha I heardyou liked me for it," He said sitting on her bed.
"Thats not what I said," Holly said turning to face him, he had an eyebrow raised and his arms were crossed in a mocking way.
"Yes that is what you said," Artemis continued, "You said I was annoying, good with words, and your best friend."
"Thats not what I said," Holly whined, "Your putting words in my mouth. I did not say that."
Artemis laughed and got up. He walked over to Holly and put a hand on her shoulder, "You know how easy it is to make you angry. Your almost as easy to annoy as Foaly, like when you tell him his inventions suck."
She pouted and pushed him in the stomach lightly making him back away a little, "Your a jerk you know that. You should be so glad that I'm not punching you right now."
"I am glad," He said giving her a smile, not a vampire one, just a real smile, "Cause even if I'm used to it, It still hurts."
She gave him an evil smiled and he backed up, "That doesnt mean you can hit me now."
"Well you take the fun out of everything dont you," she whispered looking down.
"Oh yeah you think its fun punching someone, huh," Artemis asked lifting up her chin. There eyes connected and they held each others stare. It was blue against hazel. Then Artemis looked away.
"I'll talk to you later okay," He said walking out the door, "I have to do something."
"What," Holly said turning around to find herself already alone. She closed the door and laid down on her bed.
'Why did he have to ruin such a perfect moment,' she thought to herself. She flew up, 'Please tell me I didnt just think that. Why would I want something like that.'
She laid back down on her bed to ponder some more but only ended up falling asleep.
Artemis ran all the way down the stairs and to his lab in the basement, 'What the heck is going on. Why wouldI think of kissing Holly. How could I think of something like that. She'd kill me.'
He went over to his meditation spot and thought, 'Her eyes are so beautiful. More mesmerising then the actual power she has. I cant help but think if leaving was wrong. If I didnt I might have kissed her but, would that be wrong. It's not like it would mean anything. Just lust.'
Even as he was thinking this he was doubting himself. Its not everyday that a genuis does something stupid because he doesnt know how to react.
Ok I think I should stop there and think of what to do. I want to know if you hate it. Cause I feel awkward. This is my first fic. I started writing one before but the plot sucked. This one might be better. Let me know.
Just to let all of the people who review. Thank you for all of the encouragement. It makes abig difference. And non of you told me if I should do the song. I'll give you a little insider. Please if you hate tell me so I dont make a fool of myself. Its not for Chris anymore.
without you I'm lost for a while, without you I can always smile, I am flying free theres nothing I cant do, Without you.
Thats the chorus tell me what you think. (kisses)
